  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
  • Strong, story-driven narrative

Flashback is the remake of the 1992 classic: a cinematic sci-fi platformer with fluid, rotoscoped-style animation, hand-drawn backdrops and an agent trying to recover his lost memory. Precise jumping, shooting and light puzzles define the experience.

The Way

Sci-fi setting

A pixel-art sci-fi platformer in the vein of Another World and Flashback: you travel to an alien planet seeking a way to bring a loved one back to life. Puzzles, platforming and exploration form the core.

Replaced

Lavish presentation

A striking 2.5D pixel-art platformer set in a dystopian alternate 1980s, where you play an AI trapped in a human body. Cinematic platforming meets fluid free-flow combat.

Eden Genesis

Sci-fi setting

A fast-paced cyberpunk platformer where you guide the cyborg Leah through neon-lit trials to free her corrupted mind. Precise timing and quick reflexes take center stage, backed by a story framing the challenges.

Sanabi

Lavish presentation

A fast action-platformer where you play a veteran with a grappling prosthetic arm, swinging through a dystopian city, dodging bullets and taking down enemies. Fluid swinging movement is paired with a dark, stylish presentation.

The Cub

Lavish presentation

A wild child grows up among the ruins of humanity in a hand-painted, old-school platformer inspired by classic Sega games. Moody synth-tinged music and quietly told stories give this Jungle Book-style post-apocalypse a melancholic atmosphere.

Flashback 2

Pure single-player experience

A sequel to the retro classic Flashback: as Conrad you battle the alien Morphs and search for your abducted friend Ian in a sci-fi side-scroller. It mixes platforming, shooting and light puzzles in a classic style.

Luna Abyss

Lavish presentation

A single-player, story-driven sci-fi action-adventure that mixes fluid platforming with bullet-hell combat. You follow Fawkes, a prisoner on Luna, caught between a cryptic prophecy and a prison sentence.

DeadCore

Focus on a single character

DeadCore is a fast first-person platformer with guns, in which you climb a massive, fog-shrouded tower. Precise jumping, timing and speedrun appeal take center stage, wrapped in a dreamlike sci-fi atmosphere.

Cyberia

Linear, curated structure

A 90s pre-rendered sci-fi adventure in which you solve puzzles in a secret Russian base and fight rail-shooter-style sequences in a cockpit to stop a world-ending superweapon.
